The air conditioning system
removes moisture from the air, so
water might drip under the vehicle
while idling or after turning off the
engine. This is normal.
@
(Recirculation): Press to turn
the recirculation mode on or off.
An indicator light comes on when
recirculation is on. When the engine
is turned off, the recirculation mode
automatically turns off and must
be re‐selected when the engine
is turned on again.
This mode recirculates and helps
to quickly cool the air inside the
vehicle. It can be used to prevent
outside air and odors from entering
the vehicle.
The recirculation mode cannot be
used with floor, defog, or defrosting
modes. If recirculation is selected
in these modes, the indicator
flashes three times and turns off.
The air conditioning compressor
also comes on when this mode is
activated. While in recirculation
mode the windows can fog when
the weather is cold and damp.
To clear the fog, select either
the defog or defrost mode and
increase the fan speed.
REAR: Press to turn the rear
heating and air conditioning on
or off. See Rear Climate Control
System (Rear Climate Control Only)
on page 8‑7 or Rear Climate Control
System (Rear Climate with Rear
Seat Audio) on page 8‑8.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a
warming grid to remove fog from the
rear window.

(Rear Window Defogger):
Press to turn the rear window
defogger on or off. The rear
window defogger stays on for
about 10 minutes, before turning off.
The defogger also turns off when
the engine is turned off. Do not drive
the vehicle until all the windows
are clear.
For vehicles with heated outside
rearview mirrors, fog or frost is
cleared from the surface of the
mirror when the rear window
defog button is pressed.
Notice: Do not use a razor
blade or sharp object to clear
the inside rear window. Do not
adhere anything to the defogger
grid lines in the rear glass. These
actions may damage the rear
defogger. Repairs would not be
covered by your warranty.
